University of Illinois Extension in Clinton County is excited to announce a Winter Tree Identification Workshop led by Forestry Extension and Research Specialist Chris Evans. This engaging and educational event will take place on December 4 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Carlyle Lake Visitor Center.
Identifying trees in winter, when they have lost their leaves, can be a challenging task. This workshop aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to identify trees during the colder months. The program will feature a combination of indoor presentations and outdoor field demonstrations, highlighting the key characteristics, steps, and resources used in winter tree identification.
"We are thrilled to have Chris Evans join us for this workshop," said Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator Christina Lueking. "His expertise and passion for forestry will provide invaluable insights to all attendees."
This event is free of charge, but space is limited. Advance registration is required to secure your spot. Interested participants can register online at go.illinois.edu/WinterTreeID or by calling Makayla at 618-548-1446.
